The Changing Tides

‘THE CHANGING TIDES’

I believe that our lives ebb and flow, just as the ocean moves with the currents and tides.

This painting is made with the most gorgeous blues and turquoise, white and gold colours, to create the feeling of the flowing tides of the ocean.

This beautiful, large, acrylic artwork inspires a feeling of peace, harmony and lightness of spirit.

My intention is that this painting will help anyone who views it to be reminded to relax and ‘go with the flow’.

All of the beautiful pieces that I create are made from the finest canvases and I use the highest quality paints, mediums and finishing products.

Each piece is a complete original, authentically one-of-a-kind painting.

Each painting comes ready to hang and is signed on the back of the canvas. I wire the canvas in the most pleasing orientation to my eye, but of course you can change the orientation to suit your taste, if you wish to. (Please let me know your preference upon purchase.)

The painting comes with a signed certificate of authenticity that only you have a copy of, and I have a record of. This gives you proof that this is your painting.

I choose not to tape the backs of my canvases before I do the painting; as many artists do, to keep the canvas backs neat.

Rather, I allow the back sides of the canvas to have the evidence of the painting that I have done, clearly showing the working process of the creation of the piece.

If you lift up the artist’s tape that I back the painting with as a finishing touch after it is complete, you can see that it definitely is a hand painted original.

I feel that in this time of digital media and AI technology, it is necessary to have as much evidence of authentication as possible.

The deep sides of my canvas’s are beautifully painted as either a continuation of the design, or in the most complimentary colour from within the painting.

Each piece is lovely to hang ‘as is’ or, if you prefer, your painting will also look great framed.

My pieces are all well varnished and will remain as beautiful and vibrant as they are today.

I hope you love my paintings as much as I love creating them!

Hello, my name is Nicole Steensen. I am an abstract artist living in the beautiful Moreton Bay region of Queensland.

Painting is my passion and also my soul’s therapy.

I find the greatest peace and balance when I am inspired to create my beautiful artworks.

I truly love every painting that I create. I love the colours, the flow and the satisfaction of making something beautiful for someone to enjoy and be uplifted by.

I choose to live a simple and quiet life, with my beautiful family close by. This allows me to find equilibrium in this very chaotic world and as I get older I know that this is the only way that I can be.

Recently, I have decided to start putting my artwork on the Internet so that more people are able to see my pieces.

Technology simply isn’t my thing! I am grateful for Blue Thumb Gallery, as this site allows me to use the benefits of technology, of which I know very little about.

I believe that all artworks have an energy that resonates from them.

I create my paintings with great joy and peace in my heart, and I believe that the artwork carries within it this essence; allowing the painting to fill any room with this peace and
joyfulness.

I am inspired by the feelings that flow through me. I have visions of what I want to create and I know that each painting will find its perfect home.

My pieces are quite large and make a big impact on any room, expressing the personalities of the people who own them.

These artworks are ‘statement’ pieces and people are mesmerised by the intricacies in my designs.

Thank you for viewing my paintings and taking the time to learn a little bit about me.
